Freckle Juice: A Childish Book in the best way Possible
The book Freckle Juice is another timeless classic put out in to the world by Judy Blume. I will always have a special place in my heart for this book. The reason is because this was the very first chapter book I ever read. I know, I know, the name of this blog is the "Teenage Book Blog" and this book is for ages 7-9 year-olds. But I just wanted to share my love of this book, and for any other teenagers reading this who have younger siblings, after my review they may suggest this book to them. But let's get into the plot summary.
Summary
This book follows a boy named Andrew Marcus. Andrew really wants freckles really bad since another one of his classmates has them. So one of his classmates offers him a recipe to make "Freckle Juice" which is a juice you can make, and once you drink it you drink it it supposedly makes freckles appear on your face. All Andrew has to do is pay his classmate for the recipe and he'll finally be able to have the freckles he dreams of having. If only it went the way Andrew wanted it to.
My opinion
There really isn't much to say about this book. It's a childhood classic. It's cute and funny and has a simple interesting plot that kids will love, and even maybe relate to. One thing that I liked about this book is how it talks about freckles. I don't have freckled, nor did I grow up with them. But I've heard and seen kids and teens who have freckles and hate them. I'd like to think that even a few kids who read this book growing up learned to love their freckles, and realized how unique and cute they are to have. I'm not going to rate this book (I know this is a short review). I'm not since this book is more for smaller kids, so even though I read this book as a kid , I'm not really the target audience right now. But If your an adult who has kids or a teen with a little sibling i'd definitely check this book out. It's a great book to get a kid into reading.
